  4. Add the stock & cook over gentle heat for 30 minutes
  5. Thicken with a little corn flour then add the kidney beans & simmer for another 15 minutes, the beef should now be rich & glossy, check seasoning adding a little salt if required
  6. Preheat the oven to 180ºC fan assisted or 200ºC without a fan.
